I'm about to buying some new shocks, but I do not know exactly what size lift my truck has, im thinking 4, but I want to be sure. What are the ways to determine lift size? It is a Fabtech lift

You can search by your year make and model on the fabtech site. But most shocks ive seen will give a range for lift applications i.e. 0-2 in lift 4-6 and so on. Hope this helps!

On a lifted truck I always measure and select shocks according to the measurements I take. I have busted to many shocks and even as far as cracking a shock mount due to companies saying that this shock is what you need and it being the wrong size.

Here's what you do:

With the truck parked level on the ground, measure from center of bolt hole on lower shock mount to the mounting bracket on the top. For example lets use 30" as your measurement. If you still running bump stops measure from bumper stop to axle. Lets say that measurement is 6".

Get on whatever brand shock site you want to buy and read the measurements of there shocks.

You want to take the fully compressed and fully expanded sizes and find the median of those two number closest to the measurement off your truck. For example a shock 20" compressed and 40" expanded would be perfect. That would give you 10" of shock travel each way. BUT if you only have 6" of downward travel due to the bumpstop you can find a shock that let's you get more expanded travel. Understand what I mean?

Is yours a 4x4? If so the fabtechs are 6 inch lift

All I saw was the 6 inch, but at one time I thought I saw a 4

Thanks I will do that tomorrow, I'm thinking about just getting the part number off of the fabtech shocks I have already and just order those again. My fronts ones are shot completely

Yes it is, but I thought I saw 4 at another time. I could be wrong though, I have been wrong a time or two.

Fabtech has never made anything other than a 6" lift for these geeration trucks.
